Pit stop in Modica, Sicily

Modica was really supposed to be the highlight of our day, but we were just too beat from a night of little sleep due to a broken A/C unit at the hotel in Noto that we only passed through Modica with a few snapshots and a good idea of what the town must hold to discover. I believe it was 4 or 5 pm in the afternoon and we couldn't wait to go on to the southern tip and then to the coast!!! Andiamo avanti!

O.K. not the best time for picture taking... but then I discovered the capers growing right below the bannister!
View across Modica, which is supposedly known for its excellent chocolate...

I guess we'll sample it next time... :-)

Typical guy on his Vespa...

And another beautiful example of sicilian baroque churches!

Notice again the lack of people! They were all a lot smarter than us... relaxing somewhere in the shade with a cool cup of gelato... instead of trying to be a tourist!
